JULY 4TH CELEBRATION SPREAD

Subj: Let's Keep This Going Thru July 4th

I HOPE THERE ISN'T ANYONE ON MY E-MAIL LIST THAT WON'T KEEP THIS GOING.       

     

Happy 4th of July!....

Let's get this 

started ,NOW!  
So it will be out there 

on the fourth!





I 

PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE  
FLAG,
OF 

THE UNITED 
STATES OF AMERICA 

,

AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR 


WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE 


NATION UNDER  GOD,
INDIVISIBLE,
WITH 

 LIBERTY
AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! 

 

KEEP IT LIT!! KEEP IT LIT!
For all of 

our other military personnel, where ever they 

may be.
Please Support all 

of the troops defending our Country. 



And God Bless 

our Military who are 

protecting our Country for our 

Freedom.
Thanks to them, and their 

sacrifices, we can celebrate the 4th of July. 




We must never 

forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we 

have,
of which we should be eternally 

grateful.


I watched the 

flag pass by one day.
It fluttered in the 

breeze.




A young 

Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at 

ease. 


I looked at him in 

uniform;
so young, so tall, so proud. 


With hair cut square and eyes alert, 


he'd stand out in any crowd.


I thought how many 

men like him
had fallen through the 

years. 
How many died on foreign soil; 


how many mothers' tears? 


How many pilots' 

planes shot down?
How many died at sea? 


How many foxholes were soldiers' graves? 


NO, FREEDOM ISN'T FREE !


I heard the sound of 

Taps one night,
when everything was 

still. 
I listened to the bugler play 
And 

felt a sudden chill. 

I wondered just how 

many times 
That Taps had meant 

'Amen.'
When a flag had 

draped a coffin
of a brother or a 

friend.



I thought of 

all the children,
of the mothers and the 

wives, 
of fathers, sons and husbands 


With interrupted lives.




I thought about a 

graveyard
At the bottom of the 

sea.
Of unmarked graves in  Arlington 

.
NO FREEDOM ISN'T 

FREE

Enjoy Your 

Freedom
and 
God Bless Our 

Troops.

When you receive this,
please stop for a moment 
and say a 

prayer for our servicemen.
 
Of all the gifts you could 

give a U.S. Soldier, prayer is the very best 

one.
